Our primary goal as moderators is to run
TeaneckShuls fairly and efficiently and ensure that it continues to be a
useful and beneficial tool for our community.Detailed below are the most relevant rules that we ask our members to
follow.These rules do not – and
cannot – address every circumstance, and we are often required to make
judgment calls, both in the application of the rules and when new situations
arise.Therefore, we must
reserve the right to use our discretion when deciding which posts are
appropriate and acceptable.In
order to ensure the smooth and proper functioning of the list, we reserve
the right to reject, delete or edit any message at any time.
If you are certain that your post has not come through within
48 hours, before contacting us please review the rules below to see if your
post may have been rejected.We
are all volunteers with our own busy work and home schedules, and we ask
that you keep that in mind.

1.Brevity:
Be brief.

2.Signature:
Sign your full name to every post.

3.Subject Line:
Use a brief subject line that summarizes the content of your post.Readers should be able to decide whether your email is relevant to
them based on the subject line alone.

4.No All-Caps:
Do not use ALL-CAPS in the subject line or body of your email.

5.Age Minimum:
Children under 13 may not post, even if using an adult's email account.

You may request relevant first-hand feedback on our members’ experiences
with businesses, professionals, etc., but you may
not request negative feedback
(e.g., “Seeking feedback, whether good
or bad…” is not
allowed).

9.Price:
If you are selling something, you must include a price (“best offer” is not
allowed unless you state a specific price and include “or best offer below

allow posts containing opinions, news, political issues, petitions or
surveys.We make occasional
exceptions for issues affecting Israel or our community generally.

11.Geographic Scope for Community

likely to get significant attendance from the Teaneck area. We occasionally
allow such postings for Manhattan, Riverdale, Passaic, Monsey and Bergen
County.

Teaneck, Bergenfield or New Milford only, subject to Rule #7.These can be posted by the broker
or owner, but not both.If the seller is represented by a broker, then only the agent is

g.Posts by
businesses for job openings are allowed, but you should limit your

may post job openings, but not more often than once a week (so all positions
must be consolidated into that one email), and the email must clearly
indicate that they are a recruiter.

Please avoid
using an automatic email signature/footer that mentions your business or
website.

least two weeks from the last time you posted a ticket sale.

incurred).Asking price may not
exceed face value plus those fees.
